O Allah! Bless me with a good pious companion."

O Allah! Bless me with a good pious companion."

Behind every delay there is khair, Trust in Allah's timing, The creator of time. Have Tawakul and Sabr. If Allah is making you wait, then be prepared to receive more than what you had hoped for. Just hold onto your true faith in Allah.

My Lord, aid me and do not aid against me, grant me victory and do not grant victory over me, plan on my behalf and do not plan against me, guide me and facilitate guidance for me, grant me victory over those who transgress against me. My Lord, make me ever-grateful to You, ever-remembering of You, ever-fearful of You, ever-obedient to You, ever-humble to You, oft-turning and returning to You. My Lord, accept my repentance, wash my sin, answer my call, make firm my proof, make firm my tongue, guide my heart, and remove the treachery of my chest. [Sahih Al-Tirmidhi]

Oh Allah keep my mother happy. Give her relief from all her ailments, giver her energy, give her peace of mind. Oh Allah, protect my mother from anyone who does not respect her. Protect her from any harm, whether it be emotional, mental, physical or spiritual. Oh Allah, cover my mother with mercy the way she has covered me with mercy- Allah, forgive my mother the way she has forgiven others. Oh Allah, give my mother jannah. Elevate her status and reward her for the way she has looked after me, the way she has looked after all others before herself.

َ‎اللَّهُمَ أجعلنـا من الذين أطمَأنت قلُوبهمْ بِذكرِك وأنشَرَحَتْ صدُورَهُمْ بِرَحْمَتِك وأستَجَبتَ لَهُم دُعَائهُم وبَسَطتَ لَهُم في أرزاقَهُم وعَفَوتَ عَنْهمُ وغَفَرتَ لَهُم وأضَيئتَ درُوبَهُم بِهِدَايَتِك

O Allah, make us among those whose hearts find peace in Your remembrance, whose hearts are opened by Your mercy, whose prayers You answer, whose provisions You expand, and whom You forgive and pardon, and illuminate their paths with Your guidance.

“What’s meant for you will always feel natural, calm and clear, not forced, chaotic and confusing.”

Struggling in your emaan? Do you feel dead inside when you pray, make du’aa, or read Qur’an?

Remember this: It’s okay to show up empty. Just be sure to show up.

And your Lord will fill your heart with the spiritual fuel it needs, eventually.

But you have to show up.

Show up to prayer.

Show up to du’aa.

Show up to Qur’an.

Just the act of showing up is a powerful act of faith.

Allah will take care of the rest.

— Shaykh Dr. ‘Umar Farūq ‘Abd-Allāh

Ya Allah, don't let me ever turn away from You, no matter how many trials and difficulties You test me with. Let these difficulties serve to make me a stronger Muslim and more sincere to You.

Keep asking Allah for what you want until He answers your Dua and open for you beautiful doors. He will one day. You don't rush and don't think how is this going to happen. Don't waste your energy worrying. Keep your Tawakkul strong.

دعاء سيدنا موسى عليه السلام

قَالَ رَبِّ اشْرَحْ لِي صَدْرِي وَيَسِّرْ لِي أَمْرِي وَاحْلُلْ عُقْدَةً مِّن لِّسَانِي يَفْقَهُوا قَوْلِي

(Moses) said: My Lord! relieve my mind and ease my task for me; and loose a knot from my tongue, that they may understand my saying.

And let me be good to myself and to those around me, O Allah.
